Nylon stocking would not be beneficial and may occasionally cause skin irritation. The idea behind using comfortable/ diabetic shoes is to provide adequate padding to the feet and prevent injury/ trauma. Also the shoes should not be tight to cause pressure at any point or lead to compromise in blood supply.

I am the mom of a type one diabetic, not physician. DKA happens when the blood sugars are high and the body by product is ketones. We have found that the be4stway to avoid this is by having our daughter check her blood 6-8 times a day. When her blood sugar is over 225 we have her check for ketone thru her urine. If she has ketones we give her extra no carb fluids and contact per endocrinologist on how to adjust her insulin dosage.

Hello and Welcome. What type of pain are your experiencing? Is this neuropathy pain? Are you a diabetic? A little more information would be helpful. When you don't work those long shifts do you still experience pain? What have you done that helps the pain - if anything. Does only working 12 hour shift make it worse? Have you had any testing done? I found that the right pair of shoes made a difference how my feet, legs and SIJ felt. Bad shoes, or old shoes, pain.

You might need to buy some orthopedic shoes. Some pharmacies sell shoes for Diabetics with a bigger or wider toe box. They don't cost too much more than regular shoes and they could end the problem.

March 2009 I became paralyzed from the chest down. For unknown reasons C7/T1 "broke apart" sending several disc fragments into my spinal cord. Through a milagram, a CT scan, and and MRI it was noted that I required surgery. After undergoing "2" surgeries to remove disc fragments and perform and ACDF at the site, I remained paralyzed for 2 months. I lost "motor skills" in my left leg, and "sensory" in my right leg.

I have had diabetes for 7 years and recently worked with the diabetes educator at one of my local hospitals as a high school intern. We did a lot of teaching about diabetic socks.

Since people with diabetes need to take extra care of their feet.

You have diabetic neuropathy. It tends to be worse while sleeping or upon waking. Get diabetic shoes. They help a lot during the day. My doctor put me on LYRICA but there are other drugs too.
